Hello Susan, first I want to
excuse my bad english, it is not my native language. I see that you
have big problems to run the AR on your system. The ST-Version didn't run, I
have tried it also on a Windows-System Computer with many emulators. The Copy
Protection is still active, also on the Version 2.0. But I recognice,
that the Amiga-Version works correctly without any problems. I use the WinUAE
as emulator, and I can play the AR-City now for two years. My character was now
on Level 11, and I got nearly 400,000 Experience points. But for the first
times the emulator sometimes crashes, so that I had to reveal my character. I
lost every time some points (often strenght). But I find out the correct
configuration, and now the system don't crash anymore.
You have to made following settings: RAM: 2 MB
CPU type: 68000 and activate "Slow but more compatible"
Display: 800 x 600, Line Mode = Double, Chipset = OCS
Game and I/O POrts: Amiga Mouse
Port 0: PC Mouse, Amiga,
Port 1: PC-Joystick 1
Misc: activate "Show GUI on startup" and "Show LED when full-Screen",
"AutoConfig" and "DirectX 6 support" (I think, this will
not on the MacUAE available)
I had disabled
the Sound, so in this case I don't now how it works. So, you can found
the MacUAE emulator here: ;http://worldserver.oleane.com/ablancha/uae.htm Otherwise simple
google for it. The only problem
was to find the ROM file. You can search the Internet for it (normaly known as
Kick...rom). I use the Kick204.rom, but I think, also older versions will work. I found out some
tipps: When you drink
four or five potions of unnoticability, the encounter of good and neutral
lifeforms are very seldom. You have nearly only contact with evil lifeforms,
also at daytime. The bad
encounters are ghost, spectre and wraiths. When they attack you with "a
bone crushing blow", it sometimes costs you a point strength. And you will
not found so many potions to build up your strength.You should charm
and trick the evil lifeforms as often as you can, because after 256 succesfully
tricking or charming, your stats for charm or intelligence will increace. It
will really works on the Amiga-Version! I didn't join any
guilds till now. Somewhere in the Internet I found some information about the
stats you will need to be acceptet in the guilds:
STATS NEEDED TO JOIN GUILD

But I didn't find
out, if this really works. The healer on the
west gate are very forgetful. If you heal some wounds, go for a few seconds (10
or 15) and re-enter the healer again. The prices will not increase. The healer
is often one hour there, the other not (e.g. 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock an so on). And
after midnight (0 o'clock) and sometime at 12 O'clock the prices are half then
normal. It is helpfull, when you are poisoned or deseased and need some help
from him.
So, thats all I
found out for the Amiga-Version. I hope, this will help somebody.
